I'm no expert on gorgonians but the temp should be fine. Most reef inhabitants can handle temps in the low 80's without problem. Being in FL my tank is in the low 80's almost year round. I would suspect a calcium or alkalinity imbalance or high nutrients like phosphates, nitrates, nitrites, or ammonia. Temps between 76-82 should have very little effect on most corals.
